=norm.inv(probability)
s = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

=sqrt(variance)
Term 8 of 83
What is the formula for deviation of a discrete variable?
f(x) = 1/(b - a)
(x - the population mean)^2
the mean - (standard deviation * the z value)
=percentile.exc(range, .25)
Term 9 of 83

Term 10 of 83
If a data set has an odd number of observations, the median
Cannot be determined
is the value of the middle item when all items are arranged in ascending order
is the average value of the two middle items when all items are arranged in ascending
order.
must be equal to the mean
, Term 11 of 83
What is variance?
the outcome of the experiment
the population mean
the middle 50% of the data
the measure deviation around the mean
Term 12 of 83
What is the formula used to find the coefficient of variation?
the outcome of the experiment
standard deviation divided by the mean
the greater the skew
identifying and defining the problem
Term 13 of 83
What is interval data?
nominal in nature, but has an order
ex: freshman or sophomore, attitudes, such as do you 'disagree', 'agree', or 'strongly
disagree' with the actions of Congress, quality rankings of teams
-a numerical value that measures the likelihood that an uncertain event occurs
-This value is between 0 and 1 with 0 being no chance an event will occur and 1 being
certainty of an event
the differences in order are meaningful
ex: fahrenheit temperature. Difference between 70 and 80 means something. Also, the
difference of 10 degrees is meaningful, your SAT score is an interval
it contains n observations
